This book is tough for me. You have an author write something so amazing and then they do something like this. The writing is wooden and the dialogue feels very clunky. Also the story itself isn’t that compelling. Frankly I’m so disappointed in this story because it feels like someone else wrote it. I’m trying to finish out the story out of respect to an author I had previously loved.

I so wanted this as Lois Lowry wrote on the finest books ever - The Giver. Similar themes in this book but so far, it feels...dull. The pacing is fairly slow. Typical dystopian set up which of course I'm sure only books will solve. But right now, I've heard more about the mundane on everyday life with very little concern about their missing child/sibling and the balance seems off. Not sure how this is going to go.
